WASHINGTON Soriety.

A noticeable element in society this
winter is the number of Young di-
vorctes, all OF them 50 bright, pretty,
and attractive that society wonders at
the cause Of their marital troubles,
unless one rests on the woman's
ground-that al men are hrutes. Some
very strict and proper people object to
meeting them, and consider it sub
yerSiye IF all morals and teachings for
young girls to be brought in contact
with these women Of unhappy expert
ences and refuse invitations to certain
houses where the Divorces are sure to
be met.
Not all of them are through the
courts yet, and they are not sensitive
on the subject. but frequently refer to
it. One Of them announced that she
would leave the city very" early this
spring and go to Newport for a long
stay.
For two years?n was asked, and,
after a CHEEKY nod of acquiescence,
the would-be widow joined in the
laughter.
Awkward scenes take place at some
receptions where these grass widows
assist. One innocent old lady, in call
ing. was introduced to a pretty di-
vorcGe, and said:
30, / am SO glad to meet you, be-
cause | know your husband
Then you can't know me if you
know him. replied the young wo-
man. Il draw the line there en-
phatically.'
At another reception the divorcGe
assisting was from Ii of town, and
when a visitor was presented who re-
cognized the name and asked if she
We're related to a certain Mr.. So-and-
So OF the same city the answer came:
40, yes; he is my divorced husband:
Il beg pardon" stammered the
visitor. Il didn't know. l used to
know him long ago"
Eyes. i was quite well acquainted
with him myself once" was the cool
rejoindcr. .
These and a few other contretemps
of like kind have assured people that
the grass widow ought to be retired a
little from her present prominence.
Devoted as the senatorial families
are TO their kind when any outside
enemy attacks them. they have little
differences among themselves that are
sometimes interesting. At a recent
crowded entertainment the wives of
two Senators met in the crush.
"Where is your ~husband?" asked
number one.
He is struggling toward YOU" said
number two; '.but he is not tall enough
to be seen yet"
When the Senator brought himself
up beside his wife she introduced him,
and the number one Senator's wife,
looking him coolly from head to foot,
said:
"Well, he isn't very tall, is hep But
if he is short he makes up for it in the
length of his speeches."
The awful silence lasted a second
and then the Senator said: 1.-THE
length of my speeches is only exceeded
by those of Senator -" mentioning
the husband of the number one wo-
man, whose lord is not the most bril-
liant MAI in the upper Legislative
body Washington Letter 10 Ncw Yorl
